AstOnishinG Success.

1t is the duty Of every person who has
used Bosehee's German Sp,np to let its won
derful powers be known TO their friends in
curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat
and lung diseases. No person can use it
without Immediate relief. Three doses will
relieve any case, and we consider it the duty
Of all druggists to recommend it to poor,
dying consumptive, at least to try one bot
tie. as 80, 900 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed was re-.
ported. Such a medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bottles to
try, sold at ten cents. Regular size, rs cts.
Sold by all druggists and dealers in the U.

Esnaeralda Items.

The following items Of interest are taken
from the Walker Lake Bulletin Of last We'd
nesday:
The Georgene mine continues its improve
ment and is now one OF the best mines in
the State.
A Huntington crusher was taken to Bodie
last Saturday by Earl's teams. 1t will
crush rock from the Syndicate which is now
being worked under lease.
The Kinkead mill is doing good work on
ore from the Lapanta, Notwithstanding the
delay occasioned by the great amount Of
repairing which is required.
While the Lapanta is developing bodies
Of rich ore, some Of which will be hauled
TO the mill this week, being worth $1,000
per ton, there is big mine in reserve Of
low grade ore that is being left as it will
not now pay for hauling. These bodies Of
ore, that assay from thirty to forty dollars,
are constantly developing their great size as
the work of taking out the richer rock pro.
crosses. When water is procured and q
| mill is erected in the district the low grade
ore at the Lapanta will make Of it big
| mine.

The Lolita Ore.

The rock brought in from the Lolita mine
in Garfield district by Brooks McClane has
been crushed and the assays show as fol-
lows: One lot Of about zoo pounds assayed
$I,II4 per ton; another lot of 700 pounds
assayed $500 per ton; eighteen sacks aver
aged 500 per ton, and the balance OF the
I2H tons assayed $I3o per ton. This in
die ates that the Lotta is good mine, and
as Mr.. McClane is satisfied with the results
more ore will probably be shipped here
from the Lolita,

Bernice District.

A correspondent Of the Austin R<veiAle
writes that the Bernice silver mill started
up on the 10th on ore from the Golden
Crown; the mine is looking fine and pro-
ducing high grade ore, and Bernice will be
heard from soon as a steady bullion pro-
ducing camp. The only drawback is the
lack of sufficient stamps to crush the ore.
The facilities for reducing ore are the cheap
est in the State. Salt is So per ton, wood
50 50 per cord, and there is plenty Of good
water.

The Festival and Dance.

Wednesday evening the Odeon Hall was
crammed with people, old and young, who
were bent on seeing how much of the dys
peptic food they could devour, and also
how many times they could dance between
eats. The ladies' waiting room was pro-
vided with couple of barrels and attend.
ants were there to roll the ladies who ate so
much that their digestive organs required
assistance to perform their duty. We do
not intend to insinnate that the fair creatures
made gluttons of themselves, but even if
they had, it was for good cause, for every
time they could make the boys treat 50
cents or a dollar was raked in for the Fire
Company.
There were few people here from outside
towns. We believe Tom Calvert and family
of the Mound House, were the only repre-
sentatives from any Of the rural districts.
Quite number of tickets were sold, how
ever, in Virginia and elsewhere, and, to
their credit be it said, the Daytonites turned
out en- masse
The music, which was furni shed by Tim
mer's orchestra, was the finest, probably,
that ever played for a dance in Dayton, as
all who attended will testify.
The following figures will show very near.
ly how much OF a success the affair was hnan-
cially: The dis bursements were as follows:
music $3S; hall $40; berries $II; cream
So so; expenses to Virginia, etc., S.; total.
500 so. Receipts, donated $22; sale OF
tickets and amount taken in at table Sill;
total 1898. This leaves the net receipts,
500 so with Silver City, Gold Hill and Vir-
ginia City to hear from as to how many tick.
cts were sold there. In all probability the
total amount that will be donated to the Fire
Company will not fall short of $40. This is
quite a neat little sum for donation, and il
will be in order for the fremen at their next
meeting to tender the ladies a good. sized
vote of thanks. The dance was kept up un-
I'll towards sunrise Thursday morning, and
everybody pronounced it one Of the most en-
| joyable affairs that they ever attended.

The Brunswick.

1t is reported that the Brunswick mill at
Empire will soon add twenty more stamps,
which will make seventy-six in all, and the
number will probably be increased to ninety.
This mill is now employed on Yellow Jacket
number of stamps is because the concentra-
tors put in about a year ago can handle
more ore than could be handled by the pan
process. 1t is also reported that one of the
other mills will put in two Commentators.

Alarm OF Fire.

Last Wednesday morning about 8 o'clock
the alarm of fire was sounded, the cause
being blaze between the barn and house
owned by Pinschower on Silver street, just
behind the Postofice. John Lothrop dis
covered the FIRE. In less than 1--WE minutes
after the alarm the engine and hose cart
were on the ground ready for use. but few
buckets full Of water had BY this time
squelched the flames. The cause Of the
FIRE was defective stovepipe. The place
is a regular old rookery. and it is a wonder
that before now it has not caught FIRE and
burned the town up.

S. H. Orr, who is canvassing this State
for Yaggy's Anatomical Study, was in Day
ton this week interviewing the School Trus-
tees in regard to the purchase Of one Of the
studies for this district. The work is the
finest thing of the kind we have ever seen,
and should be in every school house in the
State. The price is $50 but we believe it
will be worth 500 to every scholar to have
such work. Our trustees purchased one,
and probably Sutro and Silver City will also
have one. Mr.. Orr is now in Mason Valley
negotiating for the sale of the work to the
schools out there.
